Matthew 24  36"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father... 42Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. 43But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

Matthew 24 45"Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? 46It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns. 47I tell you the truth, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 48But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, 'My master is staying away a long time,' 49and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards. 50The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. 51He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

“What must be made clear is that each of us has a responsibility to do something about our polluted and trashed creation right now. In anticipation of His coming, we must go to work today and participate with Him in caring for all parts of His creation, making our contribution to the work which He will complete on the day of His coming.” (ibid.)Phil 1:6 “And I am sure of this: that He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.”

“The new heaven and new earth will come in its fullness only with an apocalyptic return of Jesus. He will establish shalom at His coming. On that great day, He will put an end to the destructive violence that now plagues the earth. The second coming of Christ will signal the complete deliverance of creation from its present bondage to corruption.” (Campolo, p.96)

By sovereign appointment we are earthkeepers and caretakers: loving our

neighbor, tending the creation, and meeting our needs. God uses our skills in the unfolding and well-being of his world.

We know how God’s story is going to end.
